European guy, weird by default.
You dislike what I say, great. Makes the world a more interesting of a place. But try to disagree with me beyond a downvote. Argue your point. Let’s see if we can reach a consensus between our positions.

qyron@sopuli.xyzto Europe@feddit.org•The European Union is under pressure to strike a trade deal with Trump, but an influx of mass-produced, low-quality food must be off the table. English15·1 day agoUnder pressure for what?
It has already been stated that the import of food items, in detriment of the higher EU food standards, will not be negotiable.
Two simple examples: chicken and beef.
For beef, it would be as simple as stop pumping cattle with steroids and attest the origin of the animal, two things american rancher are unwilling and often unable to do. Argentina and Brasil sell meat to the EU. Isn’t the US as capable?
Stop washing chicken with chemicals (likewise, eggs), treat the animals properly, with good sanitary conditions, no steroids, and it will be fine.
But the real issue is that the EU already produces enough beef and chicken indoors. And meat consumption has been in a sharp decline. No one will buy what they don’t.
Besides these two, it would make a difference if the US stopped using artificial food colorings, with proven bad effects on health.
There are more issues.
Beet root boiling water is a very stubborn dye to wash off too.
Which the occupants can clean themselves.

Sheep and goat have glands throughout the body that need to be removed in order to make the meat more palatable; it’s still edible, just unpleaseant and smelly.
I personally prefer adult sheep or goat. The meat is very though and oily but slowly roasted, with strong herbs, it breaks down and becomes tender. The fat in the meat is superb to cook root vegetables in.
Nothing against horse; unusual nowadays but it helped a relative of mine to ward off a serious malnutrition, leading to low blood iron levels. Game meats are game meats. I personally enjoy boar but not being a hunter makes it hard to source such meats.
qyron@sopuli.xyzto Europe@feddit.org•Rampaging raccoons: how the American mammals took over a German city – and are heading across EuropeEnglish4·2 days agoNothing wrong, per se, just non sensical.
The animal does not have much to eat, the meat is though and very fatty and heavily scented. Also, unless it is “fat”, it is not edible, leading to badgers in the area becoming leaner and more muscular.
Allso, it’s a protected species.
Too quick. And someone will need to clean the wall.
How about arrest and prosecution under a completely reformed legal system?
I don’t have any horse in this race but… how ugly, dirty and bloody can this get in a state where gun owning and carrying is very common?
And I’m not even considering bystanders caught in crossfire.
How ugly can it get if someone decides to shoot on sight a gang like this? And other people join as they start hearing exchanged fire?

Well thought out sabotage can be written off to causality or involuntary human error.
Not giving notice of lay off is an abusive work practice and only shows how far we’ve allowed work conditions to degrade.
And that practice itself can be highly dangerous, if we consider a person can be midway into a complex task that can turn extremely difficult to follow by another: waste of time, resources, energy and money.

Insert malicious code, self destructing functions, have entire batches of code lost or corrupted, hardware damaged, etc?

If my readings serve me well, Long John Silver was the pirate cook and then captain from Treasure Island.
So… Perhaps? Would make sense.
Don’t know about the first part but on the second I can only say the staff is paid a wage of, at least €900, monthly.
No commission, no tips, nothing else.
It’s minimum wage in my country and many live with it. Where I live you can find a house with three bedrooms for €300 to €400.
Downside? Small, slow, semi rural, no jobs town. You have to commute to work.
